Noblesville Chamber, League of Women Voters team up . . .
The Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and the League of Women Voters of Hamilton County are teaming up to present a three-part series of “Candidate Conversations” featuring Noblesville mayoral candidates Vince Baker, Mike Corbett, Chris Jensen and Julia Kozicki prior to the primary election on May 7. These informal forums will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 11, March 11 and April 8 in the Noblesville High School auditorium.
According to Noblesville Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Bob DuBois, this is a unique opportunity for Noblesville residents to help shape the mayoral conversation.
“The Noblesville Chamber, in partnership with the League of Women, has created an online portal to accept questions,” said DuBois. “Every question asked by our residents will be shared with the candidates.”
Noblesville citizens can submit questions for the Candidate Conversations series via a form on noblesvillechamber.com. Questions will be carefully selected for the Candidate Conversations based on content and time restraints. However, all questions will be shared with the candidates privately.
Candidate Conversations will offer a unique format, with specific topics being addressed at each event. On Feb. 11, candidates will discuss issues that address Noblesville people and relationships, including issues of safety, health, housing and workforce development. On March 11, the theme is Noblesville places and things, which includes infrastructure, parks, districts and destinations. Finally, on April 8, the three candidates will tackle the Noblesville economy and finances, including city budgets, capital improvement plans and economic development.
The overall goal is that Noblesville residents will leave the Candidate Conversations series feeling better acquainted with each of the candidates and their platforms so that voters can make a well-informed decision in May.
“The Noblesville Chamber and League of Women Voters want to provide citizens of Noblesville the opportunity to learn about each candidate’s vision, leadership approach, public policy positions, and specific plans to advance our city,” DuBois said.
